Howdy

I am in Colorado. I am 35 and have Lupus Nephritis. On lots of medications right now including prednisone, cellcept, coumadin, bactrim, enalapril, and aciphex. Feel free to ask anything else.
Peace
Brent

Ganesha is:
*A T11/12 paraplegic since 2000.
*A colorado medical marijuana patient.
*As active as possible with handcycling being my primary passion, but Lupus has thrown a wrench in that pursuit for too long.
*A Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist currently working with an adult with a TBI.
*And much much more

Thanks for the reply Brent sounds like you are doing all the right things good luck with the future , i am sort off trying to figure out whether i need to look at a career change to get myself away from uv light exposure but i don't know what to look into to try next big decision for me

I'm 44 and live in Georgia.
I've learned a lot from this board. I have an Undifferentiated Connective
Tissue Disorder that is Lupus like.

I've been in printing or advertising for 26 years. If you can find a shop
willing to train you in estimating or customer service you could stay in the
business. Having been a pressman, you have the base knowledge to move
into either of these areas, as long as you also have some computer skills.
Many times these jobs are not advertised, but filled through word of mouth.
Look up printers in your area, and physically go to the shops and drop off your resume and fill out an application.
A stint in customer service may lead to an opportunity in sales.
On the flip side, if you can get into another business that is less stressful, go for it. Printing is full of "I need it yesterday" deadlines, as you know. We all feel better with less daily stress.
Good luck

thank you henry,
that may have to be the way i go ,but my boss is a bit stuborn and dont like changes to much , i have had experience in this side iff it before breifly, but deffinatly worth to ask the question.
